Etymology
Inherited from Middle French trop, from Old French trop (“unreasonably excessive”), from Frankish *þorp (“a cluster, agglomeration", also "collection of houses, village”), from Proto-Germanic *þurpą (“village”), from Proto-Indo-European *trab-, *treb- (“dwelling, room”) which are cognate with Old Saxon thorp (“village”), Old High German dorf (“village”), Old English þorp (“village”). Cognate with Italian troppo, and Piedmontese tròp/trop. More at English thorp, English troop.
